People hardly refuse a plate of good food. The flavors and colors that make way into a palate and make everybody drool. But there are some foods that are synonymous with our cuisine, which is not exactly the case with them.

So, with our food patriotism in for a shock, let's have a look at such great foods!


1. Tea (Chai)

This Indian staple drink had its roots in China, before the British came and taught us to cultivate this omnipresent beverage of the nation!

The epitome of softness. This leavened bread is a core food item of the Persian cuisine with its roots stuck deeply in Iran. It takes guts to refuse a naan with Butter Chicken, if you relate to food like I do!

These small sugary devils filled the bellies of people from the Mediterranean before they reached our country. We did modify it, though, if credit is a word.

This succulent meat curry from Goa is the cuisine messenger from Portugal. Though the actual dish is made from wine, pork and garlic, the dish is more appropriately and adaptation.
